A new book of poems by famous Ukrainian poet, journalist, and TV presenter Dmytro Lazutkin. His poems are a portrayal of the internal state, they capture and impress starting with the very first line. The new and unusual "sparkle" of the collection is the qr codes added to some of the poems..

There is everything here: trust, tenderness, and joy, but at the same time sadness, anxiety, and desolation. Here, besides songs of love, there are also desert songs, but even they are imbued with the hope for that our entire life is a unique and beautiful song.

The new book by Halyna Kruk contains poems of 2013 through 2017 about the experience of growing up – with all of its achievements and losses, fruit forbidden and permitted. A book for those who are trying to understand themselves, to accept the transience of life, and to feel grateful for what love gives to people.

Here, with the extreme frankness, the reader is presented with the strongest feelings and the modern routine, and the war that imperceptibly but inexorably permeates the experience and wraps itself into every single day, every thought, every gust of the heart.

An extended and corrected version of the 2016 edition. The anthology includes iconic poems by the most outstanding Ukrainian poets of the twentieth century – from Tychyna to Zhadan. This is the most concise form-wise and one of the most comprehensive text-wise Ukrainian poetry anthology. The book includes 2,016 pages.

This is poetry of what-is-around. The impressionist principles of portraying the familiar, and thus dear and sweet world around arise in conventional visual wrapping, but they are full of such unexpected content that it fascinates, and the lips only feel the taste of withering grass, over-ripe plums, and autumn rain.

..almost every woman can do that: give birth to a baby – and start to intensively recall her own childhood; see her husband go to the war – and start drawing parallels with the wars long past. But not everyone can with such love and determination express that, making the past as sharp as the present, and the present – as deep as the past.

Bohdana Matiyash has managed not to describe, not to convey with words what she wanted to say. Instead, her words – so simple, transparent and frank – have turned into the door opening into the warm heart and – through it – probably, into infinity...

This is a book of very open and profound poetry, where everything with what and how we have been living in recent years is mixed: the dramatic changes, pain, suffering, loss, war... But, like precious stones, it reveals the seeds of something light and warmth, which can be called the happiness of living.

In a sense, "Calendar of Love" is a calendar indeed. This collection includes 365 poems, these are poems for every day, poems for every season, for every period. Mostly, these are intimate lyrical poems, although there you will also find texts about the war, about the world outside..

This is a book of poems that not only penetrate into the soul, but also tear bowels apart. They leave through holes in the mind, through which the reality peeps, from which one would like to protect oneself with one's palms. These "Apricots of Donbass" ripen well in time and savor both bitter and sweet.

Dmytro Lazutkin is sensitive to what is worth speaking about and knows how to pick up the right words. His poetry is interweaving of experiences and premonitions, flexible metaphors and clear images. "The Red Book" is a collection where most of the poems were composed during the last year...

"...I think that the most important things about my poems are sight and memory. Medieval Christianity commands us to remember the four "last things" – death, Judgment, hell, and paradise. But while these things have not been fulfilled, we remember the penultimate thing. Let's call it – to be short – life." Borys Khersonsky

Zhadan talks – about the dearest letters and burnt bridges, lost spots and destroyed cities. In the rhymed verse and in the free verse, with his own words and translated ones. He talks to his guys and to aliens, to saints and those not very saint – and, sure, to us. In order to rescue – if not us, then at least our children.

If it is true that all of us are walking books, then this book was written from the reverse perspective of journeys. It contains the European poetry on the Ukrainian memory and oblivion.

What is it like – coexistence of everything with everything? What is it like – that singing of existence? The God of our time – polysemy – tempts us with shimmer of meanings, the desire to reconcile the irreconcilable. How is it possible to sing the entire diversity of the world in one song? This is what the new poems by the famous Lviv poetess Halyna Kruk..

According to Serhiy Zhadan, poetry by Dmytro Lazutkin is largely made by "voice", chanting and scanning, it consists of the morphemes and syntagms used in the process of quarrels in sandboxes and crematoria.
